Dr. Karen Bierman, Ph.D., among her many accolades from her 30+ years as a legendary social emotional researcher, is an advisor to Sesame Street. 

Here she tells two wonderful stories.  One about picking her daughter up from daycare and discovering she was really mad at her best friend. 

Then a second where her three year-old son wields those famous words "You're not the boss of me!"

Dr. Bierman talks about how she used those opportunities as a teachable moments and relays the wonderful way in which we can teach children emotional understanding.
